Russia-Ukraine was a war between Slavs and the stronger side won. Western Europe made no difference, never will. theguardian.com/world/2025/nov…

The West isn't going to adopt an inferior payment system. North Americans pay for nearly everything with cards. It's *much* faster than Mpesa - either swipe or tap. No need to top up either because most people are paid their salaries by direct deposit.

5000/- is still less than an American $50 bill. I don't think there's any money laundering trick that can be circumvented so this won't solve anything. The real problem is this note will be useless in everyday transactions as no one will have change.

Both these photos were taken by the same South African photojournalist. Although Kevin Carter later took his own life, it was probably due to family and financial problems and not war trauma.

Selassie didn't go hungry in England. He was a key ally and was given a large manor to live in. What seems to have happened is he gave most or all his spare cash to fellow Ethiopian exiles who weren't on support. He was a generous man.

A building at Diani Reef resort burnt down today. No one putting water on the fire of course. There's no indication the fire spread beyond this building.

Looks like the Boma-Jonglei wilderness. At independence in 2011 there were big hopes for making this a premium fly-in safari destination.

Nairobi will eventually have 20 million people. Just because of where it is on the continent. How they'll make it work, I've no idea.
